After the launch of the Xiaomi Mi A2 (Mi 6X) Android phone, the selling is going very well for this device because it’s offering a similar Android experience as the Google Pixel devices. But we know that we can’t stop here and we can’t linger only on the current devices that the company is offering now. The successor of the Mi A2 will be the Xiaomi Mi A3 or Mi 7X that is coming this year.

Rumors and Leaks

From January we know that Xiaomi has begun to work on the new Mi A3 Android device and starting from then, many stories about the phone have been rolled out. So the latest rumors are saying that the phone will have the Snapdragon 675 SOC and not the newly launched Snapdragon 712 SOC. Also, the phone will have 8GB of RAM instead of 6GB of RAM, and the storage capacity will be as the 6GB of RAM model. The next two models, the RealMe 3 or the RealMe 3 Pro, will have the same SOC. Let’s see all the rumors about the Xiaomi Mi A3.

Xiaomi Mi A3 Design – regarding the design, the Mi A3 will have a rectangular notch, a water-drop notch and the new island camera can be found on the device. On the other hand, the bottom bezel will not disappear soon, maybe the top bezel. The rear will be from a metal design with the same dual camera setup. But the change could be done on the camera placement. We could have the Mi A3 phone with center camera setup and not on the left side as the last Mi and Redmi phones from this year. Also, the fingerprint scanning technology will be improved, and the response times will be better than we have seen in the first generations.

Xiaomi Mi A3 Specification- the first rumors have stated that the Xiaomi Mi A3 will have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 with Kryo 470 cores. But now we have found out that the Mi A3 will have the Snapdragon 675 SOC. Playing games will not be a problem because it will have the Adreno 618 GPU. Also, the Mi A3 comes with X15 LTE modem that reaches download speeds up to 800 Mbps, and the battery will be improved too. The Mi A3 is coming with a 3300 mAh battery and 18W Quick Charging capabilities.

However, regarding the storage and memory department, the first rumors said that the Xiaomi Mi A3 would have 4GB of RAM and 64GB internal storage for the base model, and 6/8GB of RAM with 128GB internal storage for the top line model. Now the rumors are saying that the memory will be with 8GB of RAM. Also, you can increase your room with the SD-card slot that supports up to 256GB. From what do we know so far is that the 3.5 mm headphone jack isn’t supported.

Xiaomi Mi A2 Camera- the phone can be the first one that comes with a tri-camera setup, with sensors dedicated for three lenses (telephoto zoom lens, a wide-angle lens, and a Bayer sensor for black and white). The two sensors will have 12MP, ƒ/1.8, and 1/2.9″, 1.4μm and the 20MP, f/1.8, 1/2.8″, 1.0µm the second one. The front camera is a Dual Front selfie snappers, with LED flash.

Xiaomi Mi A3 Software – the device can come with Android Pie based on MIUI 10 update just like the Redmi Note 7 model. But other rumors are saying that maybe we can get the Android Pie 9.0 or the Android Q.

Xiaomi Mi A3 Release Date – the Chinese market will be the place where the new Xiaomi Mi A3 will be first launched, and after some time, we will see it on the Q3 2019.

Xiaomi Mi A3 Price – the new Xiaomi Mi A3 device could be somewhere between $255 and $300. The price is reasonable if you think that you have a big storage, between 6 to 8 GB of RAM, a decent camera, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 SOC, and two years of Android updates.

The camera is one of the most sought after features on any smartphone today, as they’re more sophisticated and offer better resolution and picture quality than original camera phones. Besides the default camera app on your iPhone or Android smartphone, there are plenty of alternative, third-party apps you can choose from to supercharge the quality […]

However, narrowing your search to find the best camera app for your personal use can be a daunting task.

We did the legwork and found the best camera apps you can use for your Android or iPhone device in 2019.

Best Camera Apps for Smartphones

Cymera

This camera app is for beginners or casual photographers who want to jazz up the quality of their photos.

It doesn’t bog you down with a boat-load of features, but has essentials like auto retouching tools, selfie filters, seven different lens options, and a variety of shooting modes.

Cymera has built-in sharing features so you can upload your photos quickly onto social media pages like Facebook or Instagram.

If you constantly edit your photos, the camera app gives you a variety of editing tools, plus collages, stickers, and skin correction tools. You can also edit photos from other apps like VSCO and Camera360.

If you want to share your photos, or tips and tricks, there’s a VSCO photo community where you can connect with other photography hobbyists, and participate in photo challenges.

You can download VSCO for free, but to get the full functionality of the app plus the creator’s community, you’d have to pay an annual $19.99 subscription. This also gives you access to every other tool in the app.

Camera+ 2

This is a relaunch and complete rewrite of the Camera+ app, and comes with too many features that give its users plenty to work with.

Among these are manual or automatic settings for focus and exposure, file saving formats (including RAW), basic editing tools like filters and cropping, and a Lightbox area to review photos. The latter syncs to iCloud storage for iPhone users.

This camera app for iOS, is a combo of simple and complex editing tools, giving each user, whether newbie or pro something to write home about.

While the full version of this app may be heavy for mobile devices, it can fit into and work on your smartphone. And even though it may take some time to learn how to use it, you’re assured of getting the best photo editing results.

You can upload photos either from your smartphone or the cloud, and use Photoshop Express features like pop color, collage, auto-fix for adjustments, or add watermarks, to your photos.

This free to download camera app is power-packed, and offers basic and advanced editing tools with functionality and speeds that are second to none.

Pro Camera is a great choice for photographers, with full manual controls giving you a feeling similar to that of shooting manually.

The app, which is free to download and try, features full manual controls like shutter speed, ISO, and white balance, so its like having a little DSLR in your pocket.

However, to unlock pro features like photo and video tools, you’d have to pay $3.99, which is little compared to what this camera app has to offer. This purchase gives you access to options like fully manual, RAW, or dual lens control shooting.

You can adjust background blur from the app’s Portrait mode with depth-control, and if you want to shoot in tricky lighting conditions, buy extra HDR and Low Light modes.

Your mobile device is your lifeline. You use it for work and play, plus it carries loads of personal and sensitive information from your contacts, calendar, photo album, and digital wallet. But what would happen if it gets in the wrong hands, or gets infected by malware? Why You Need an Antivirus App on Your […]

Why You Need an Antivirus App on Your Android

Android OS is the most popular in the industry, which makes it a major target for malware.

Google Play Store also doesn’t offer a stringent approval process, which only adds to the danger of bogus apps constantly finding their way to the store.

Additionally, with Android you can install APK files, some of which could be infected by malware and viruses created by hackers. This isn’t the case with Apple devices that allows downloads only from the iOS App Store, thus protects its users from phony apps.

So you do need to have the best security and antivirus apps installed for your Android device to stay protected, always.

We’ve highlighted the best antivirus apps for your Android device in 2019, which actively work to prevent malware from being opened or downloaded via malicious web pages or files.

Samsung will soon reveal its next smartphone during a dedicated Samsung Unpacked event. The internet is filled with rumors as many are looking forward to the official announcement.

This article pits the iPhone XS and the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 in a side-by-side comparison. Read below to learn more about the devices.

Specs comparison

Screen

The iPhone XS sports a 5.8 OLED display with a generous 2436x 1125 resolution and 458 PPI while the S10 will have a larger 6.1-inch panel with a higher resolution at 1140 x2960 and 540 PPI.

Memory

Samsung is a bit more generous when it comes to internal memory. The device will offer a choice between 128GB and 6GB of RAM and 512GB coupled with 8GB of RAM. Potential iPhone XS have the option to choose between 64GB, 256GB or 512GB of internal storage space, and each size comes with 4GB of RAM.

CPU

The mighty A12 Bionic chip raised some waves when the XS was revealed, but Samsung plans to even the score. The US version will employ Qualcomm’s bleeding edge Snapdragon 855, and the international version may use the Exynos 9820 chip.

Camera

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is built with selfies lovers in mind, as it thought that the device would feature a 10MP front camera with dual-pixel autofocus, OIS( or Optical Image Stabilization) and support for 4K video recording. These specs are miles ahead when compared to the meager 7MP sensor found on the iPhone XS.

The rear camera is also quite interesting. According to most rumors, the device will employ a triple camera setup consisting of a wide-angle lens, a telephoto lens and a depth lens that will be used by an AI to create beautiful shots. The XS offers a dual lens setup with two 12MP sensors. The triple camera system is a clear winner, as the performance is almost certainly superior.

Both devices are quite impressive, but a clear analysis will become possible after the S10 is released. Until then we can only hope that it will be a worthy competitor for the iPhone XS.

Below you can find a short description for each of the new G7 devices.

Moto G7 Plus: A budget monster

OnePlus is one of the most popular smartphone manufacturers in the world, delivering top-tier flagships at affordable prices. The selection of devices is quite limited in comparison to the competition but the features and quality of the devices are great.

The company is currently working on the OnePlus 7, the next entry in the series. Below you can find the hottest rumors that are currently floating around the internet.

Power boost

The company has already confirmed that the new smartphone will use the impressive the Snapdragon 855. The SoC was announced by Qualcomm in 2018 and it is the most powerful mobile smartphone processor that is available on the market at this point.

According to Qualcomm the new chip is considerably more powerful than the previous version. It also consumes less energy, which makes even better.

5G may be available

The Snapdragon 855 features a 5G compatible modem. While the standard is currently limited to a few select regions it is likely that it will become more popular in the future. OnePlus has noted that they are looking forward to 5G devices and this is the perfect chance for an early start. Even if the functionality will be unlocked via a future update it will certainly make the device a future-proof investment.

A daring design choice

Some sources claim that OnePlus is currently exploring a new design for the future device. Leaked renders have shown a smartphone that features a full display, without notches or holes. The device could use a sliding mechanism that will push up the front camera. In one of the leaked renders we can see a device that is mounted on an interesting case. The case has two obvious cut-outs that could be filled by a camera and a multifunctional sensor.

Racing traits

The McLaren Edition of the OnePlus 6T was very popular. Some features that were implemented on this version may be present on the OnePlus 7.

Not afraid to be late One great thing that we should appreciate more about Apple is that it is not afraid to implement new technology later.

One great thing that we should appreciate more about Apple is that it is not afraid to implement new technology later. In 1997 Steve Jobs returned, and it began one of the hallmarks of the company as he had a conservative approach to many new technologies. Many of its competitors have different ways to decide on integrating new tech into their devices. What helps Apple not to get absorbed into the battle is what differentiate its products – the software.

The makers of Android phones and Windows PCs do not have this luxury so they are forced to integrate each new technology that comes or it will be considered as falling behind. Sometimes these technologies are not as good as they seem and they might end up being a waste of money and also impractical.

However, sometimes Apple is the one to come with new tech that later gets implemented by other companies, and with that being said we can confirm that the company is the master of timing. They first analyze what happens when the other competitors try to implement it, and after finding the best way to do so, Apple offers it to their customers.

You might think that Apple is hurt due to its late arrival to 5G, but it was also very late on Bluetooth and slow on Wi-Fi, and in the end, introduced both of those perfectly.

This is what happens every time there is a new tech that people are fussing over. Apple gathers information, analyzes and then it goes into making it for their devices. The company feels no pressure to introduce tech earlier because they know exactly that their way of doing so brought the success of the brand.

What do you think about this tactic? Would you wait to get a better version of new tech or are you satisfied with getting it in the first form but fast?

Engine and transmission

Since 1079 when the Supra nameplate was incepted, an inline six-cylinder has always powered the sports coupe. The new model will not have this changed, but there is still a controversial caveat going on: BMW supplies the engine. The previous Mark IV Supra Turbo is not as good as the new one who makes 50 more pound-feet of torque, and the turbocharged engine produces 15 more horsepower. With that being said, the rest of the cars are stronger.

If you are a manual transmissions fan, this might not make you happy, but the Supra will only be offered with an automatic transmission with eight speeds initially. The Z4 will have the same type, and there are rumors that a three-pedal setup will be introduced as well.

The only car available with a six-speed manual is the Performance Package Level II Mustang. The Chevrolet Corvette is also available with a seven-speed stick shift, but if you opt for the automatic, you get an extra gear. The aging Nismo 370Z from Nissan also gives you the opportunity to choose between an automatic or a manual. The automatic one gives you seven speeds while the manual only provides six.

Performance

The numbers of Supra’s performance are solid, but it is also considered one of the slower cars in this comparison, according to official automaker estimates. The BMW Z4 has a similar weight and offers extra power and torque beating Supra by 60 miles or 0.2 seconds per hour. The Chevrolet Corvette is the quickest car here.

The Fors Mustang is significantly larger due to its somewhat usable backseat, so it is also the heaviest in this group.

This year will be a great one because every mobile company is working on their own version of “the best smartphone.” These devices will come equipped with more exciting changes. Google seems to be part of this category as they are keeping up with modern trends and would not accept to settle down.

The company is focused on augmented reality, according to Digital Overload. Google wants to integrate this feature into their smartphone in order to be used for the camera. This is not the single phone that will be launched this year, but also a mid-range handset will be available. If you want to wonder the modern technology, but your budget does not allow you to get too much of an expensive phone, this is the device for you.

Google Pixel 4 will revolutionize the mobile industry! The company will release the most outstanding phone that they have ever created. The current foldable Samsung Galaxy S10 will compete with it.

Regarding the specifications, just like the Samsung Galaxy S10, Google Pixel 4 will be a foldable phone. The fingerprint scanner will no longer be mounted on the rear of the phone as under the screen there will be an optical sensor. The display will measure more than 6.3 inches as the one for Google Pixel 3 XL did.

Sargo and Bonito are some possible names that Google might use for its upcoming device. ARCore APK, the company’s latest, mentions this aspect along with the names. AR will create unique experiences for you every time you use the camera.

In this case, the AR fans will be addressed by the Google Pixel 4. Unfortunately, the release date has not been confirmed by the company. According to speculations, it might be unveiled in October this year. Alongside it will be the bigger Google Pixel 4 XL.
